Tinybird connector details
Real-time analytics in Tinybird start with live data — and Estuary makes that possible. By using the Tinybird variant of the Dekaf connector, you can stream data from Estuary collections directly into Tinybird as Kafka-compatible messages. This gives you a continuous, low-latency data feed for powering dashboards, APIs, and user-facing analytics.
- Instant data delivery: Estuary publishes updates and inserts in real time to Tinybird via Avro-encoded Kafka topics
- Effortless authentication: Connect using your Estuary materialization name as the username and your auth token as the password
- Flexible workspace setup: Works seamlessly with both Tinybird Forward (CLI-based) and Tinybird Classic (UI-based) environments
- Schema-aware integration: Includes an Avro schema registry endpoint that Tinybird can automatically decode
- Custom deletion handling: Choose between kafka (null-value deletes) or cdc (explicit deletion records) modes for soft or hard delete logic
- Optimized for analytics: Configure Tinybird datasources using MergeTree or ReplacingMergeTree engines for deduplication and efficient querying
💡 Tip: When using CDC deletion mode, extract the _is_deleted field and apply the FINAL keyword in Tinybird queries to automatically filter out deleted rows.
